Cristiano Ronaldo signs new Al Nassr deal to extend Saudi stay - ESPN

Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new two-year contract with Al Nassr to extend his stay in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr sporting director Hierro said in May that the club were keen for Ronaldo to sign a new deal to remain at the Jeddah-based side and suggested that Al Nassr faced competition for the Portuguese superstar's signature.

Hierro's words came after Ronaldo, 40, hinted that the season finale at Al-Fateh was his last appearance for Al Nassr.

But in signing a new deal, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner has dispelled any notion that he might be looking to join the seventh professional club of his storied career.

«A new chapter begins,» Ronaldo posted on social media. «Same passing, same dream. Let's make history.»
